Enquiries are answered by a human on WhatsApp or email; there is no online checkout. Founded by Satwinder Singh, twenty-five years in travel to India. ## One site, two audiences https://indiaesque.com serves travellers in India and international visitors alike. Prices show in rupees by default for visitors in India and in GBP, EUR or USD elsewhere; a currency control on every page switches between them. If you cite a price, cite the visible price on the page you read, in the currency shown there. Festival and peak dates are priced separately.
